Clean Energy Stocks: How Policy Impacts FinanceNew Hampshire, United States [RenewableEnergyWorld.com] After a dismal performance at the end of 2008 and into 2009, clean energy stocks faired much better moving into 2010. But the volatility is far from over. Because the cleantech industry is still so new, investors are trying to figure out how to properly value the growing list of public companies. In this podcast, we'll look at how the sector faired financially over the last year. Dear Listeners -- While the written companion article for each episode of the Inside Renewable Energy podcast remains below, the associated audio files have necessarily been removed. We apologize for the inconvenience, and appreciate the support you gave to our podcast production.
Thank you, Rob Wilder, founder of WilderShares and a periodic contributor, joins us to talk about the performance of the NEX and ECO indexes. He'll break down each sector, tell us why we need to overcome our instinct to “buy at the top” and give us a bit of advice on investing in penny stocks. Then, we'll have a panel discussion from the Solar Power International conference on the role of Feed-in Tariffs in the U.S. We'll explore how FITs may fit in to the U.S. policy landscape, look at the European and Asian experiences with FITs, and talk about the relationship between consistent policy and stable financial markets. Joining us in the roundtable will be Adel el Gammal, secretary general of the European Photovoltaic Industry Association; Rick Gilliam, director of government affairs for SunEdison; John Geesman, former California energy commissioner and founder of the Green Energy War blog; and Julie Blunden, vice president of public policy and corporate communications for SunPower. Our feed-in tariff theme song this week came from Ed Regan of the Gainesville Regional Utilities. Inside Renewable Energy is a weekly audio news program featuring stories and interviews on all the latest developments in the renewable energy industries.

I always like the view of Warren Buffet on the purchase of stocks. Buy when they stocks are low and when the price represents an opportunity based on the underlaying value. So don't buy because it went up, rather buy when it went down but the underlaying value has changed.
Buffet is focused on long term gain because the company is well run and generates a steady cash flow. Long term cash flow seems to go hand in hand with running renewable energy projects.
